CookieAlert Plugin

CookieAlert plugin

CookieAlert displays a cookie/privacy notice. Enabling a banner alone does not make a site legally compliant or prevent optional trackers from loading before consent.

  1. Inventory cookies, analytics, advertising, embedded players and third-party services actually used.
  2. Obtain appropriate privacy/legal advice for the regions you serve.
  3. Configure the notice in plain language with links to the current privacy/cookie policy.
  4. Test accept/reject/change-choice behavior while signed out and after clearing site data.
  5. Confirm optional scripts respect the intended choice, not merely that the banner disappears.

Do not claim “we use no cookies” without testing the complete site and embedded third parties. Keep a way for visitors to revisit their preference.

Common questions

Why does the notice reappear? The browser may have cleared or blocked the preference cookie, or the notice version/domain changed.

Does clicking Reject stop every optional tracker? Only if the site is configured to delay/disable those scripts. Test network requests, not just the banner.
